Zoe and Jack’s trip to Rome was supposed to be a romantic one-year anniversary celebration with a little business on the side. Jack’s fledgling security company has landed the plum assignment of providing additional security for the opening night gala of a museum exhibit featuring priceless gems.

However, the easy job turns complicated when they discover the exhibit is the next target of a cat burglar who has struck several times in recent months, snatching up a hoard of sparkling jewels. Opening night goes off without a hitch, but then the police accuse them of switching the real gems for fakes.

With the exhibit’s organizer missing and planted diamonds showing up in their belongings, Zoe and Jack are forced to delve into the shady side of the diamond trade in a search for the culprit, a journey that takes them from the fountains and piazzas of the Eternal City to the snow-capped Alps.

I was a little worried about this fourth book in the On the Run series, I really thought that Rosett ended everything off for Zoe, Jack and us in the third installment and I couldn't imagine what would be the lead in for this portion. I'm thankful that I stuck through that apprehension though--this was another great book!

Zoe and Jack arrive in Rome for what they think will be a simple surveillance job and then a week of tourism in their favorite city... but that could never be the case for this couple, could it? After being implicated in the theft of some pretty important jewels the pair must again prove their innocence in the way that we all have come to love, alluding the police and tracking down the real villains.

Zoe and Jack are back in another adventure and I couldn’t be happier. Suspicious, the 4th book in Sara Rosett’s On the Run series is an entertaining read. In this story, Zoe and Jack are in Rome for both business and pleasure. Jack’s start-up security company has been hired to provide additional protection for some very expensive jewelry. When the priceless gems are stolen and Jack and Zoe are implicated, our duo uses their skills and contacts to find the culprit who set them up so they can clear their names. Their investigation takes them from Rome to the beautiful area surrounding the Germany/Austria border. They are never more than a few steps ahead of the authorities and that makes for a fun and exciting read.

Zoe and Jack are great characters. Each book gives us more insight into what makes these two people tick; they make a great team and are perfect for each other. This is a well-written story with an engaging plot that kept me reading until I reach the end. I loved briefly checking in with Nico (such a fun character), but I have to admit I missed catching up with Retired FBI Agent Mort Vazarri.

The On the Run series was originally a trilogy. (The first three books should be read in order, but this book can act as astand-alone.) Ms. Rosett stated she wrote a fourth book at the request of her fans. This fan is hoping she’ll continue writing adventures for Zoe and Jack for a long time to come. Happy reading!

I was skeptical at first because I thought the last book was a nice wrap up to the series and was worried this might take the route of many series "reboots" and become overkill but thankfully it wasn't. This book was just as amazing as the original three.

It is full of twists and turns. I will admit I suspected who it was from our first meeting with the character but that didn't make the book any less enthralling.

I was a bit disappointed that some of the characters from the previous three books were not in this one. (the journalist and detectives) However, it had an ending that leaves possibilities for them to return in future stories. I'm still hoping for a spin-off series with two of these characters.

If you haven't read the first three in the series, I recommend reading them in order before this one.

This is an INCREDIBLE series. Perfectly written; thrill a minute and right in the middle of the action. I hope the series never ends. Get into this series and hold on for wild rides all over Europe. Thanks Sara!!!!!

One of my favorite series! This installment doesn't disappoint. I enjoy the intrigue without a bunch of sex and foul language. So much better than most cozy mysteries because of the exotic locations and the variety of "crimes" involved, not just murder.

Sara Rosett is my new favorite cozy mystery writer. Her writing is crisp, clean, and engaging. This sleuthing couple never disappoints, and I look forward to each of their new adventures. Keep 'em coming!

This is book 4 in Sara Rosett' s "On The Run" series. Having enjoyed the first 3 very much, I had big expectations for this one, too. I did enjoy it also, just not as much - perhaps because, though well written and suspenseful in itself, the compelling and overriding suspensefullness extending through all of the first 3 was just not as strong. But I would still recommend it to anyone who read and enjoyed the others.
